We've all pretty much forgotten about AR/VR

But Apple's going to be launching their headset next month

It seems rather controversial within Apple itself: https://www.macrumors.com/2023/03/26/apple-employees-concern...
I’m kinda of excited about the battery be wired and not on the head unit. I’m hoping Apples is the lightest weight set to date. I never found the HoloLens comfortable. The quest2 would start out okay, but the weight fatigue was real.
I think most people have realized it's gimmicky and will be for a very long time.
I'm really interested to see how they differentiate their headset from HoloLens. Exciting stuff.
i wish webxr was at the forefront but i see it going the way of pwas.
Apple should remove the screen from the next iphone and force users to buy the headset to be able to see the display. Similar to how they removed the 3.5mm jack.
The next iphone will be invisible and weigh nothing. People will lineup for days to be the first who gets an empty box.
we drove by an apple store after the last big launch...my 6 year olds were like "why are they waiting in line? don't they know they can order it online?"
